!Biography: Sebastian Shoup, a German, was one of the very first settlers. He located where Saxton now is prior to the revolution. During the period of Indian hostilities he built a fort or blockhouse very near the spot where the railroad depot now stand. To this shelter the neighboring families resorted until the depredations became so violent that they felt compelled to seek a more secure fortification. The Shoups and their neighbors accordingly left and did not return until the war had closed. Shoup erected a gristmill very early. His children were: Joseph, Henry Abraham, Mary (Knepper), Susan (Fetter), Catherine (Elder) and Mrs. Swartz, from whom a numerous posterity is descended.
The History of Bedford, Somerset and Fulton Counties, Pennsylvania, 1884, Waterman, Watkins & Co., pp. 330-335
!Notes: According to a letter of 20 Jun 1963 from Mrs. Helen HILL GREENBURG, the name of Sebastian SHOUB is the first one on the list of those who took the Oath of Allegiance on 6 April 1778 before Robert SMITH, Esq., at Bedford, Pa.
The first Federal Census of 1790 before Robert SMITH, Esq., at Bedford, Pa., lists Soboston SHOPE, with 2 males over 16, 1 male under 16, and 4 females.
David Ira FOSTER, in one of his historical articles printed in the Saxton Independent
during 1881-1882, wrote about SThe Shoup House,T which must refer to Sebastianus second house. His first house, or cabin, was Sin the meadow near the spring,T as previously mentioned. The SThird houseT may possibly refer to Saxtonus Soldest houseT standing at 609 8th Street near Spring, built by his son Henry and now owned by Susan Faith ELDER (see 7dfbged). Foster related: SHow it was shaped or what size it was we are not prepared to say but we have seen the joice (joists) and helped to take them out of the old barn and framed them into a new building. The barn was built in 1823 and the house from which the joices (joists) were taken was built in 1823 and the house from which the joices (joists) were taken was built in 1787, they were hewed 6x8 inches. Shoups kept on making improvements, building the third house and clearing the farm at resent known as the Fockler, now owned by Jonah REED... In removing the stone work of the old barn, we found what was likely the first stone used by this old family as a mill to rub their corn and grain.T
The Huntingdon & Broad Top Railroad was chartered in 1852, was a reality in 184, was completed in 1856, and had its last run in 1953. It ran between

Huntingdon and Everett, east of Bedford, and had two spur lines: one at Riddlsburg for the coal fields of the Broad Top, and the other, called
Shoupus Branch, off at Saxton, going eastward through Coalmont and Crawford
to Dudley.
!Will: Sebastianus original will, to which he signed his own name as SHOUB, is in English - and no in the German language as some persons have asserted -and reposes in File Box Si in the Bedford Co. Courthouse Office of Deeds and Wills. It long lay unrecorded but finally was recorded by court order on 16 July 1956 on page 121 of Will Book 22. You will notice that the person who actually penned the document was quite short on spelling.

believe, I saw the old gravestones of Sebastian and Henry and copied the data from them. As I recall, the old fieldstone which marked the burial place of Sebastian, next to which Henry was later buried, carried only the initials S.S. and the death date, which I interpreted as Jany. or June 11, 1798. However, because of the deteriorated condition of the old stone and in view of the signature and probate dates of his will, it can be assumed with considerable surety that Sebastianus correct death date is 11 Jan 1793.
In Saxton, the old Shoup (now Fockler) Cemetery lies on the east side of the road going north on Miriam (now 6th) Street to Shoup Street (which was formerly, at least, the most northerly east and west street in the village), jogging a few yards to the right, then turning left and continuing northward for about 150 yards.
Margaret, Sebastianus wife, who supposedly had the pet name of SNellie,T was probably also buried in the old cemetery, but no stone or record seems to exist to substantiate the supposition.
On 15 Apr 1752, at the age of 15, Margaret DECARTEE had a warrant granted to her, through her father, for a 50-acre tract of land called SSecond Tryalliu situated in Frederick Co., Md., on the Ssouth side of the wagon road that leads form Susquehanna to Potomac rivers"
